Steveinthecity: Sounds like a cool selection of stories in that digest. I'll have to grab that one. Although smaller, Funhouse #12 had a pretty good mix, though it was all Archie related, one Josie story(20+ pages).Today at 12:02:45 AM

DeCarlo Rules: I don't know why, but they really took the time to make this one special. It's sort of a Jumbo mini-crash course in Archie Comics history.Yesterday at 11:35:50 PM

DeCarlo Rules: Did I mention that Archie's in it too? With all that other stuff, I'm almost surprised they found the room.Yesterday at 11:33:54 PM

DeCarlo Rules: They even managed to squeeze a story by Mark Waid in there.Yesterday at 11:18:17 PM

DeCarlo Rules: There is a little bit of "Everything Archie" in this digest... Superteen, Wilbur, Sabrina (from 3 different eras), Betty & Veronica, the Madhouse Glads, Josie, That Wilkin Boy, Cosmo the Merry Martian, Little Pureheart, Li'l Jinx, Life With Archie (both versions, from the 1960s and the 2010s), even a section of Bob Montana's daily newspaper strips from 1946!Yesterday at 11:16:31 PM

DeCarlo Rules: I just had a flip-through of "The Best of" ARCHIE JUMBO COMICS DIGEST #260... this may be the single best $7 purchase you will EVER make on a single ACP comic. It really IS the Best Digest I Have Ever Seen!Yesterday at 08:24:08 PM

Heh...you should search around for a thread called Archie's Riverdale Run...it's a project that has supposedly been in development for five years now...LOL!

And I hope never comes out. It looks like the worst game ever made.

I was thinking they could do like a funny fighting game parody. Of course that would have to involve Archie getting over its current violence taboo. Would be worth it though to pound Archie into the ground with Betty or Veronica. XD

Well, if it's from Mr Lodge's POV, it would be a first person shooter.

As far as an Archie video game idea goes, there's ideally a couple of ideas that could work.

One is kind of similar to the presumably aborted Riverdale Run game...have the gang drive around Riverdale, but complete missions along the way. (i.e. getting Mr. Lodge's important paperwork to the office on time, meeting Betty on a date while avoiding Veronica). The Simpsons Hit and Run game had a funny storyline surrounding it, so I'm thinking something similar would have to happen like say, trying to save Riverdale High from being knocked down, or hosting an Archies concert.

The only other game that could work would be a platformer, where Archie daydreams in class or something like that, and he finds himself in dreams inspired by those Archie Art Players stories in old Laugh comics.

In general though, for an Archie game to work in the arcade, I think Archie would have to go out of its comfort zone a bit. There would need to be some danger, action, or someting else slightly exciting involved other wise no one is going to give that thing quaterters.

I doubt even little kids would want to play a game where "Archie must collect enough hearts so he can take Betty on a date Friday night" or "Juhead must mow enough lawns so he can buy burgers at Pop's" or whatever total PC rhubbish we would expect them to produce in video game format. lol

Actually I was just thinking for format was what Konami did for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles/The Simpsons/X-Men arcade games, a good old fashion 4-player beat em' up. And you don't even need a complicated story, just goal(s) for the player to accomplish.
